I am so unhappy about the skating. Because I'm a freak and have followed ladies skating since 1991, I know that the results could have been different so easily. Since Slutskaya and Kwan both made mistakes, although Slutskaya's was less severe, the judges could have marked Kwan down technically, but she could have outscored Slutskaya in the artistic mark, which would have placed her second in the long program and first overall.



So easily.



Also, I think they should just give the gold to the older skater. Hughes is 16 and totally could win in 2006.



Wah. I'm a huge baby, I know, but nevertheless, I want my Michelle to win. But, hey, maybe it'll be easier to score an interview with her now that Hughes will be the new media darling.
